I can't make you

I can't make you care
we have all recieve the wonderful gift
a gift of free will
you have to want to care

I can make you see
let you know what's happening
I can talk to you
I can share with you
But you have your decision
and you always will

I can be as passionate as I can
I can show you the way
I can teach you
I can hold your hand as you learn
I can care
and i always will

Sometimes it frustrates me
you don't understand
you can help
you can do so much
you can see it
you can care
but i can't make you

I can accept it if it's personal
but how can you not care about your world?
i can show you so many
so many who are hungry
-you throw out food
so many who are cold
-do you have an extra blanket?
so many who live in fear
-you can help
but will you care??

i only ask one thing
be true to you
if you care
-always care
if you don't
-don't
personal or societal
please be consistant- please be you

i can't wait on you forever
i can't count on you if you're not there
i can, and always will, care for you
but i can't make you care
